It’s kinda weird that fantasy dwarves are associated with beer.@NullNowhere Wheat apparantly does quite well in hydroponics, and at least here in Scadinavia hops is a rather new thing, first appearing in the 6th century, and only dominating from the 14th century onwards.
Beer with hops hold up to tramsportation much better.
So dwarves must have been drinking wheat beer with bog myrtle or alewort as bittering agents all this time.
